Reb Avraham Shalom Ben Zion Aryeh Rabinowitz, one of the veteran and distinguished chassidim of Belz in Yerushalayim, has passed away at the age of 88.
Rabbi Rabinowitz, son of Rav Menachem Rabinowitz, was among the early residents of Kiryas Belz and was widely respected as one of its elder chassidim.
Known for his extraordinary precision in the nuances of Tefillah, he was privileged to teach the Belzer Rebbe fine points of Hebrew grammar and exact wording in the tefillos.
He had traveled to the United States to attend the wedding of his granddaughter, which took place last week. During the wedding festivities he began to feel unwell and was hospitalized on Friday night. He passed away on Shabbos morning in the midst of the family’s sheva brachos.
His levayah in the United States was held at the Belz beis medrash on 43rd Street in Boro Park, after which his aron was flown to Israel. The levayah in Eretz Yisroel took place at the Sanhedria Funeral Home. The procession then passed the main Belzer beis medrash in Kiryas Belz on its way to the Kahal Machzikei HaDas section of Har HaMenuchos.
Yehi zichro boruch.
